En un regard
Le château en bref
Donjeux Castle is a château located in the commune of Donjeux, 13 km from Joinville in the Haute-Marne department, in the Grand Est region (France).
Perched on a rocky spur 280 metres above sea level, Donjeux Castle overlooks the Rognon valley. The cradle of the lords of Joinville and of several other great families of the Haute-Marne region, its origins date back to the 11th century. The present Classical-style château replaced a fortified building in the 18th century. The construction of the new building was accompanied by the laying out of a large French formal garden on the slopes of the promontory. The estate was designed to function almost entirely self-sufficiently, in harmony with its surroundings. Sold in 1810, the Donjeux estate is today owned by the Viney family. The family has restored the west wing of the château, which was destroyed by a fire in 2000. These restorations were honoured in 2022 with the "coup de cœur du jury" prize of the Dassault-Le Figaro trophy, in partnership with La Demeure historique.
